"I recently hired Elite Lead Paint Testing for an inspection on my property, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their professionalism and attention to detail. From the very first call, they were responsive, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain the entire process clearly. The technician arrived right on time, was extremely courteous, and handled everything with care — making sure to test thoroughly without disturbing any areas unnecessarily. The report came back quickly and was detailed, easy to understand, and gave me full confidence in the safety of my home. It’s rare to find a company that combines expertise with great customer service, but Elite Lead Paint Testing truly delivered on both. I highly recommend them to anyone who needs reliable, accurate, and professional lead testing. They made the whole experience simple and stress-free."

Lead Testing and Removal questions, answered by experts

Lead testing in residential properties involves collecting samples from paint, dust, soil, or plumbing and analyzing them in certified laboratories to accurately identify lead levels.

At-home lead tests can provide accurate results if used correctly, and if the kits are reputable and certified. They vary in sensitivity and methodology, influencing their accuracy. Follow instructions meticulously, ensuring proper sample collection and test execution. While they can detect elevated lead levels, for precise confirmation or if results are concerning, consider professional testing or lab analysis for comprehensive accuracy and guidance on addressing any issues.

Unfortunately, lead dust does not look different from any other type of dust. You cannot detect it with the naked eye. To determine if you have lead dust in your home, you will need to hire a local company to take a sample from the paint and test it for you in a lab.

With regular testing, treatment, and maintenance, water from a community well should be safe to drink. Unfortunately, the EPA does not regulate private wells, and contamination can happen. 

If you have doubts about the quality and safety of your drinking water, you have options for testing. You can pick up kits from your local home supply store or harvest samples and send them to a local testing facility. To get the most complete water quality testing and system diagnosis, seek a local well professional. They know what to test for and can recommend and implement a longer-lasting solution.

Iron sediments from rusty pipes are not likely to cause health problems. While a glass of yellow-hued water is off-putting, it is generally safe to drink yellow water in the short term. But you certainly want to address this problem. In the meantime, switching to bottled water until the yellow water issue is resolved is a good idea.
